Programme Description
The Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds travel grants are aimed at doctoral, MD and post-doctoral students who pursue experimental projects in basic biomedical research and who wish to learn methods relevant to their current research.

The travel grant programme is open to all Europeans and to non-Europeans working in Europe to go to institutes or courses worldwide.

Travel grants are awarded for up to 3 months and encompass a contribution which may cover the expenses for travel, lodging, and course fees.
